Day 181 - 30th November, Half Moon Bay - Pomponio State Beach - Santa Cruz, 51 miles

Rano v hmle, pokracujeme po pobrezi, cesta sa klukati ako husenkova draha. Obedujeme oproti malemu ostrovu doslova pokrytemu kormoranmi a pelikanmi. Celkom fuci a je chladno. Okolo obeda sa hmla straca a konecne ideme v slnecnom dni. Cesta vybieha na utesy, ocean huci niekde pod nami. Vidime delfiny nahanaju sa vo vlnach. Za chvilu aj tulene a o kus dalej sa cele krdle pelikanov vrhaju do vln a lovia ryby. Stojime na hrane utesu a v urovni nasich oci prelietavaju krdle pelikanov. Navecer prichadzame do Santa Cruz, kochame sa nadhernym zapadom slnka na "Natural Bridges State Beach" vyzera to ze sem prislo skoro cele mesto pozriet si ho. Uz po tme prichadzame k nasim warmshowers hostitelom Chrisovi a Paule. Stravili sme s nimi vecer plny zaujimavej konverzacie s vybornou vecerou a vinom. Dozvedeli sme sa, ze akurat tiahnu ancovicky, preto bolo na mori tak rusno.

Morning in the fog. We followed the coast, the road went up and down like on the roller-coaster. For lunch we stopped at Pomponio State Beach, right to opposite of the small island full of cormorans and pelicans. In the afternoon the fog disappeared, finally it isn't cold and wet. From the nice part of the road, which was on the high cliff, we saw dolphins chasing each other in the waves and flocks of pelicans flying right next to us. A lot of them were also hunting on the ocean, together with seals. In the evening we arrived to Santa Cruz. From the coast of Natural Bridges State Beach was an amazing view on the beautiful, red sunset. In Santa Cruz we stayed with Chris and Paula, our warmshowers hosts. We had amazing dinner and good conversation. They told us that now is time when anchovies migrate, so that is why it was so busy on the ocean.
